Ok, Thank you.

you're welcome.
Here you get again a picture of my Diamond:


For all readers-please realize:
The Diamond is a full hollow "singing razor". By my mind it is not a razor for a beginner. All full hollows need a little bit experience.

Hot shower, followed by a generous lathring of SRD Blood Orange, 25 strokes on canvass then 40 on the leather of my Tony Miller 3" Red Latigo, WTG/AGT with my Torrey, followed up with Pineaud Clubman Bay Rum.

Razors: 13/16" Scheön Burg #775, Hollow, Spike point

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger

Überlather: CarrieM Lemongrass Shave Creme + TOBS Lavender Shave Soap + Glycerin

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

Post-shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food

Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer

Cologne: Penhaligon English Fern

Result: Early start to the day...It's almost 5:00AM and I couldn't sleep so I decided to shave and get back to my grant writing. I love my new Scheön Burg (got it from a member on B&B). It's a super sharp razor, where the combination of design, etching/lettering, and form come seamlessly together to create a great "eye candy" for anyone's straight razor collection. The Überlather (led by CarrieM's Lemongrass creme) was super slick today)...Gotta love this stuff . The Scheön was effortlessly gliding over the skin underneath this thick cushiony white snow like an Olympian skiing over a "perfect" slope. This entire choreographed shaving ballet was one of the best "Zens" I have had so far...what a great way to get the creative juices flowing. This was a great start to a brand new SOTD week.

Have a great Sunday guys .

Glad to see the Scheön Berg make it's first appearance in SOTD, Robert... You saved me a good tongue lashing from the wife in buying that! I love the Japanese Western Style straights...

She's a beauty!

This shave was special because it was the first time i honed up my own blade from start to finish. This Goldseal took an incredible edge and performs just as well as any of my other Gencos. Thanks to David for painstakingly lapping my Naniwas for me and Glen for walking me through a couple of things> Anyway great shave to start off the week and great pics for me to gawk at Guys!!!!

After 7 months of just using straights, I'm enjoying a run through some of my DEs the past couple of weeks. Slept in a bit this morning (a rare thing with 3 kids in the house), so did a quick, but nice two-pass shave. I like my DE shaves but can definitely tell a difference by the end of the day. The smoothness of the straight shave just lasts longer.
